If you wish to participate in the ceremony, please follow the following steps completely:

1. Submit a Petition to Graduate

Students completing their degree must fill out an online Petition to Graduate prior to graduation, at the time of registration
for your final term. The main campus will not confer your degree or release your diploma
until this form has been received. You may access the petition using the link below:

Please note: A student who completes a graduate degree, (including all required, elective, and
transfer courses) while maintaining a minimum GPA of 3.950, receives Graduate Academic
Honors. Accelerated sequential degrees are excluded from this designation. If you believe you qualify for honors, please contact the campus so they may verify.

2. Clear Business Office Accounts

Students who have completed all of their academic requirements to graduate must clear
their Student Business Office account balance prior to diploma and transcript release.
Credit card payments are subject to a 2.75% convenience fee. Check payments have a
holding period of 10 days before release of transcripts. For more information, call
the Business Office at 1-800-981-9803.

3. Complete RSVP for You and Your Guests
